Catching and tagging Great White Sharks around the world. Seriously, I have watched shark week on Discovery since it started and my new favorite show is Expedition Great White on National Geographic. So I guess you could say A) Boat captain B) Marine Biologist C)Sport Fisherman(catch and release only).

I think being a novelist would be up there. I love to read, but hate editing (that's why not an editor). I have some crazy fantasies that I would like to write down into a novel, but can't find the time nor the words to do it.

@chaosamoeba: Now that you mention it, I think I would like to work for Ikea as an assembler. I come with the products delivered to their homes and assemble them for them. I love putting things together.

@chris12345: Retired is good. I'm glad that I'd thought about it ahead of time, though. I have a friend who retired (because he'd come into some money) at an age where the fire is still in the belly of most of us. I think he regrets it now. I've worked with many people who failed miserably at being retired, either because they were unwise with their money, or because they didn't have interests that would occupy their days.

I like it, but sometimes I'd like to abandon it, at least for a while.

To return to the original question, though... I've already had my dream job.

I'm expecting that for the most part, the premise of this question implies sufficient fiscal assets to remove that portion of the decision. So, barring the aforementioned profession, probably something military. I wanted to fly fighters when I was a kid, perhaps these days I'd try one of the Special Operations services.

A blogger/tech writer who describes new tech products, appraises them, and compares them to each other, in great detail and precision. Better yet, I'd run a site/company that did that and employed a bunch of other people who did it too, since I'd love to run something and manage people (I love being team leader). Think CNET or engadget. People could also hire us to make the tech decisions for them and totally rig out their houses, including home theaters, routers, etc (not so much appliances, but we wouldn't say no to that). So, Engadget with a bit of the Geek Squad thrown in. But it would also be serious too, like advising local and federal government on technology policy (e.g. whether city-wide wi-fi makes sense, and how to do it most effectively and cheaply). Which is kind of like rigging out someone's house, just on a much larger scale.

Well the good news is I have jobs for most of you at Crazy Dave's TechnoWaffle Emporium, the bad news is that you'll have to wait on @dcalotta to win to provide the startup capital.

I'm pretty psyched that we'll have the right mix of people to move forward with the 'Dancing With The Great White Sharks' division and as long as @loosecannon67 is willing to attach lasers to their heads that will synergise well with World Domination and Maple Syrup' Division

I wanna be a professional driver. Like the Transporter.
Or a real race car driver, sorry not Nascar, but Formula or Rally, something intense and always changing.
I keep practicing but the local 5-0's don't appreciate that much.

Being a grad student is actually a pretty cushy job: the hours are flexible, you don't have to find your own funding, you get to play with expensive machines, and you're essentially getting paid to learn.

I'd own my own restaurant. I'd need to be rich first, though, because it would be a money pit. I wouldn't run the business side well and I'd cook people what I wanted them to eat. "No onions?", "well-done filet?" pshaw...

my dream job would be the oil boy on the tropicana bikini team.
Travel the world see exotic locations and be around all those hot women and rubbing suntan lotion all over those hot and sexy tanned bodies.

I would own a groovy New Age bookstore in Salem Mass., and have a little coffee drinking area in the back, where we could all hang out, discuss the world. we could make cool stuff, like jewelry and candles, or whatever the mood is for the day...,

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
